Despite a significant surge in support for Taoiseach Simon Harris, Tánaiste Micheál Martin expressed little concern, citing the complex nature of Irish elections and the government's ongoing work.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said he is “not necessarily” concerned about a huge jump in support for Taoiseach Simon Harris.
Fine Gael’s popularity also increased by four points to 27 per cent, while Sinn Féin fell three points to 20 per cent and Fianna Fáil dropped to 19 per cent . “This is a multi-seat proportional representation electoral system, combination of factors involved in terms of constituency strengths and so on like that.
The Taoiseach, meanwhile, insisted that the results of the poll had not changed his mind about the time of the election. This is despite the fact he has not specifically said whether he wants the election to be in 2024 or 2025.
